community involvement

At FMP, we understand the importance of community support. We partner with various non-profit and service organizations, including Roots for the Home Team, a program that provides opportunities for multicultural youth to discover new possibilities and pathways, and ACES (Athletes Committed to Educating Students). FMP employees regularly participate in blood drives, toy and coat drives, the Polar Plunge, and Race for the Cure. We strive to make a positive difference for the members of our communities.

With our focus on being a “Forever Company”, Factory Motor Parts is committed to building strong communities. FMP provides a variety of opportunities for our team members to get involved in, and we support strong and healthy communities through volunteerism.
